I'm having a terribly-wasteful amount of E-mail spam. My ISP refuses to address this serious issue; and I'm "locked-in" with them for a year!

I need a strong spam filter for Microsoft Word.

Thank you,

Edit this post and remove your e-mail address.

It's not really any wonder that you're getting besieged by spam !!

Doesn't your online email account have a button that you can use to indicate spam?

I take it you ARE aware that you don't NEED to use the email account that came with your ISP account, aren't you? All your ISP gives you is a gateway out onto the Web - you can set up an email account wherever you want.

This being the case, why not create a separate online email account, forward all your incoming email from your existing email account, then use the spam filtering of the new email account to separate the [b][i]Spam[/b][/i] from the [b]Sausage, Eggs, Chips & Beans.[/b]

You can even set up a 'Reply from' to mimic your existing email account if you wish - although, given the difficulty you are currently experiencing, the sooner you stop using the ISP email address the better. ;)

*And I've never given any thought whatsoever to protecting M$ Word from spam.
